On August 14 , 2012 she sought treatment at the Kavala General Hospital with a 6-day history of fever, headache, malaise, nausea, confusion, decline of consciousness, and neck stiffness.
In these patients the clinical presentation usually starts with focal signs (motor weakness, speech disturbances, and hemianopsia) and progresses with a decline of consciousness (drowsiness, stupor) until brainstem dysfunction is evident (pupillary dilation, coma, and fatal systemic decompensation).

Symptomatic vasospasm was defined, according to Shirao et al.

This characteristic clinical presentation resembles acute psychosis followed by a rapid decline in the level of consciousness, central hypoventilation, seizures, involuntary movements, and autonomic instability.
Secondary cerebral ischemia was defined as a gradual decline in the level of consciousness or a gradual development of new focal deficits or both, with confirmation of a new hypodensity on CT.
The term HHNK was replaced with "hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state" to reflect the fact that many patients present without significant decline in the level of consciousness (less than one-third of patients present with coma) and because many patients can present with mild to moderate degrees of ketosis (32, 60).
